The Convicted Contender: Felon in the Oval Office

/

His eligibility to visit these countries would be limited

By Theo Edwards

As a convicted felon, Trump’s ability to visit some nation-states, including Canada and the UK, would be restricted due to their strict policies on individuals with criminal records. It is uncertain whether he would be allowed to visit these countries unless he is granted special permission if he were to win the presidential election in November while still being a felon.

Regardless of your political affiliations, imagine this scenario: The sitting president of the United States of America is unable to fulfill all of his international duties and obligations because he is not permitted to travel to certain countries.

This could severely affect his ability to carry out his presidential responsibilities, since developing and nurturing international relations is a significant part of any president's responsibilities, this would be an unfortunate and surreal situation.

For example, in the case of Israel, Trump once retweeted someone who referred to him as the "King of Israel" and boasted about moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. However, his status as a felon may now prevent him from visiting the nation.

According to the Canadian government's tourist hub, individuals with a felony conviction on their record, including US citizens and permanent residents, may be barred from entering Canada. Canada also has the authority to refuse entry to individuals who have been arrested or accused of a felony crime, even if they have not been convicted.

World Population Review data:

Numerous countries worldwide enforce rigorous regulations for individuals with felony convictions, going as far as denying them entry visas. This strict stance is crucial for safeguarding national security.

UPDATE: JUNE 3, 2024

“Stephen recaps the drama that followed the jury’s verdict in Donald Trump’s election interference trial, the former president claimed he never used the phrase ‘lock her up’ about Hillary Clinton.”
— #Colbert #Monologue #Comedy

In a Fox News interview, how insane liar this guy claimed he never said "lock her up" about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, although people were chanting "lock her up." He stated, "I didn't say, 'Lock her up,' but the people would all say, 'Lock her up, lock her up.'"

An incredulous Colbert fired back: that was your whole campaign! Stop it, we remember. We were there.

Trump was also asked in the same interview about his upcoming sentencing and the possibility of jail after he was found guilty on all 34 charges in his criminal hush money trial.

"I think it would be tough for The Public to take," Trump said.

Colbert proceeded to play clips of Trump demanding Clinton to be locked up, prompting the audience to chant 'Lock him up fervently.'
